This selection will favor the fittest individuals in a species to fit a particular biological niche. Any given environment will have a large number of niches‚ for example small variations in the temperature‚ humidity and exposure to sunlight will affect the ability of certain plants to grow and compete with other plants. Species that fit these niches will represent
